VanEck Vectors FTSE International Property (AUD Hedged) ETF

The VanEck Vectors FTSE International Property (AUD Hedged) ETF is a type of exchange-traded fund that offers investors exposure to international real estate investment trusts (REITs) and companies actively involved in real estate development and operations outside Australia. The primary function of this ETF is to provide a diversified investment vehicle that captures the performance of the global property market, excluding Australia, while mitigating currency risk through Australian Dollar hedging. This feature enables investors to benefit from global real estate investments without being exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations. Key sectors impacted by this ETF include commercial, residential, retail, and industrial real estate markets, catering primarily to those interested in the broader international property landscape. It's significant in the market owing to its role in diversifying portfolio risks linked to real estate and offering a balanced approach to currency risk, making it attractive for those looking to hedge or diversify geographically. The ETF aligns with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex Australia Index, providing a benchmark for measuring market performance and potential income through distributions from underlying dividends.
